An innovative $25 projector by Design the Matters in collaboration with three universities makes it easier for several adults and children to learn to read, especially those limited to learning by night. To date, the Kinkajou® Microfilm Projector has supported the learning of over 3000 adults. More details in the video:
Literacy can be the difference between life and death. Using an example from the video, being able to read means mothers are able to read prescriptions and administer medicine correctly to their children. It's that simple and that profound. In the fight against poverty, it is essential that we are able to combat illiteracy. It was recently announced that the Ghanaian government is planning on spending about a third of its budget on education. This is a huge step (provided it's managed properly), and hopefully we'll soon be able to stamp out illiteracy completely.
